We are excited to share this MINOR ANNOUNCEMENT with everyone: BOWIE BINGO is back for the 2025 holiday season!!

After spending a few hours editing our upcoming episode, I have been reminded that there are actually TWO MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS made in this one episode. If yesterday's post about a single announcement had you excited, please increase your anticipation level appropriately. It should be DOUBLED!!

No lie - there will be a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT made during our next episode. And although I often use hyperbole as generously as I use salt, this time I'm NOT EVEN KIDDING AROUND!!

Be here on Friday for the excitement!!

As a reward for recording our last "Speak and Spell" episode, we drove to Emerald Isle, NC. We're on the beach today, but Sarah will verify that I edited the 2 hour 50 minute raw file this morning before we walked to the water. I only finished 5 minutes, but each journey begins with a single step!
